Technical Abstract

An array substrate and a manufacturing method for the same. The array substrate includes a substrate, and multiple gate lines, data lines and common electrode lines. The gate lines are disposed on a first surface, and are insulated from the multiple gate lines by a first insulation layer. Among two adjacent gate lines and data lines, one pixel region is defined. The array substrate further includes a thin-film transistor, a common electrode and a pixel electrode. The thin-film transistor includes a gate electrode, a first insulation layer, a channel layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode. The multiple common electrode and gate lines are parallel and are transparent conductive layers. The channel layer, the source electrode, the drain electrode and the pixel electrode are disposed on the first insulation layer. The pixel electrode corresponds to the common electrode and electrically connected to the drain electrode.
